Canola Oil Market Growth to Remain Positive Through 2024, Demand Greased by Health Benefits of Canola

Canola currently stands as the third largest oil crop in the world – a factor that demonstrates the growth in demand that canola oil has witnessed over the last couple of decades. In a new report, titled ‘Canola Oil Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends and Forecast 2016 – 2024,’ Transparency Market Research studies the trends that are expected to impact the dynamics of this market. According to the report, the share of canola oil in the global edible oil market is expected to rise consistently owing to greater awareness about the health benefits that canola offers. Given its ingredients such as omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids, health-conscious consumers are now becoming keener on exploring the use of canola oil in their diets.


The quantity of oleic acid in canola oil is high, making it an agent that can help in controlling bad cholesterol without impacting the good cholesterol in the blood. With the growing awareness about consuming foods that are conducive to maintaining cardiovascular health, more consumers are being drawn toward canola oil. Besides direct consumption being a key growth driver for canola oil sales, its use in the personal products and cosmetics industry is also expected to create valuable opportunities for this market. The anti-aging properties of canola oil are prompting more cosmetics manufacturers to formulate products using it as an ingredient. Besides helping ease the visible signs of aging, canola oil is also regarded as being effective in lightening blemishes, fine lines, and spots.

Although these drivers will ensure clear growth for the global canola oil market, there is an important restraint that is impeding the market’s growth: Canola oil is more expensive than other commonly used edible oils on the market. This could cause consumers to hesitate from purchasing canola oil where other alternatives are available.

From the geographical standpoint, a sizable demand for canola oil comes from countries in Europe. The region is also a leading producer of canola oil. In terms of volume, nearly 40% of the global canola production came from Europe in 2014. Among the key countries where canola is produced, China is an important market. In 2014, China’s stake in the global canola oil market was greater than 12%. The country also leads in terms of exports of canola oil. Canada and Russia have been identified as other important exporters of canola oil.

Companies that currently prominently feature on the leaderboard of the global canola oil market are: Archer Daniels Midland Company, ConAgra Foods, Inc, Associated British Foods plc (Ach Food Companies Inc.), Jivo Wellness Pvt. Limited, and The J.M. Smucker Company.

The Iraqi Trade Ministry has been focused on reducing dependence on imports and encourage local production so as to meet the rising demand for edible oils and fats. “Locally produced products will be priced on the lower side and this will encourage more customers to purchase edible oils and fats,” the analyst points out.

Weak Economic Conditions Hampering Growth

The GDP of Iraq had been on a stable if not rapid rise until 2014 and the country was considered among one of the upper-middle category nations. “However, the economic condition has been declining since mid-2014, with the per capita GDP witnessing a slump and poverty and unemployment on the rise,” the author of the study states.

Food Colors Market is Expected to be Worth US$2.1 bn by 2018, As the Market Expands at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2013 & 2018

The published research report by Transparency Market Research observes that the global food colors market is being led by large multinationals, who have similar shares. Thus, there aren’t specific market leaders in the global market. "This has increased the scope for new entrants to be a part of the overall market," states the lead author of this research report.

According to the opportunity in the global food colors market is expected to be worth US$2.1 bn by 2018, as the market expands at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2013 and 2018.


North America Remains the Prime Consumer of Food Colors

In terms of applications, food colors are used for food items, carbonated soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Of these, food colors are largely used in making various types of food items that maybe both fresh or packaged. The report anticipates that the food segment will hold a share of 64.3% in the overall market by the end of 2018. Geographically, North America is projected to lead the global food colors market with a share of 27.0% by 2018. The adoption of natural food colors, as opposed to synthetic food colors, is expected to boost this regional market in the coming years.

Awareness about Benefits of Natural Colors Boosts Global Market

The rising awareness about fitness has played a major role in the rise of the global food colors market. Over the past few years, the demand for natural food colors has gained momentum due to the growing health concerns over consumption of synthetic food colors. The technological changes incorporated to make natural food colors affordable are also driving the overall market. Furthermore, effects of synthetic food colors such as environmental pollution and erosions have led countries such as Japan to ban them. Thus, the demand for natural food colors is expected to fuel the growth of the global market.

An increasing number of applications of food colors is yet another market driver identified by TMR research analysts. Food colors are used in several industries such as meat and savories, confectionery, pharmaceuticals, dairy and ice-cream, bakery, medicines, beverages, sea food and pet food, and cosmetic and toiletries. Increasing importance towards the aesthetic aspect of food items to make them more attractive has also led to an increased uptake of food colors. The increasing inclination towards adding decorative or artistic value to food has been a key contributor to the rising revenues of the global market.

Negative Aspects of Using Synthetic Colors Hinders Market

The positive outlook of the global food colors market is being tugged in the opposite direction due to the plummeting demand for synthetic food colors. Europe has banned the production, consumption, and imports of synthetic food colors to prevent any health hazards due to them. Furthermore, the difficult extraction process of natural colors is also restraining the global market as it makes the natural colors costlier than synthetic colors. Thus, consumers find themselves opting for natural substances that are expensive in nature and less vibrant. Owing to these reasons, the global market is anticipated to witness a few hurdles in the coming few years.
